Summary
Join Russell Napier and Costa Vayenas as they explore a currency with a cult following – the Swiss Franc. Costa is author of The Swiss Franc, from 1798 to 2055 – and yes, that's not a typo. The book promises a treasure trove of deep data and insights, and explains how Switzerland manages with an ever-appreciating exchange rate. Looking ahead, it also discusses what long-term bond yield differentials might imply for the Swiss franc against the US dollar, and the importance of jurisdictions for asset values in a world where states and private individuals are shifting to new forms of digital money.
